Abstract

It may be a controversial statement but it must be said that no single assay for angiogenic factors described to date is totally satisfactory. In this context it may seem inappropriate to discuss these assays at all but it is with this proviso in mind that this brief and not comprehensive review is undertaken. Basically any single assay for an angiogenic factor is likely to be insufficient.
